Dealing with Food Allergies

The rendition would be very helpful for any person attempting to deal with internal inflammation deriving from foods and food allergies. For instance, there may be a chronic immune response to lactose i.e. lactose intolerance. Symptoms may include digestive diarrhea, constipation, bloat and indigestion. Permeability of the epithelium (gut) may lead to inflammation, combined allergies, reactions after exercise - all due to eating the forbidden foods. Anaphylactic reactions may occur in response to eating peanuts, cow milk, egg, wheat with burning, itch, red skin and vomiting symptomatology. MSG additives may tighten the face, jaw and chest. The book is helpful in matching the unwelcome symptoms to the foods which cause the symptoms to occur. Only when this has been done, is it possible to eliminate certain types of chronic pain related to foods that the body rejects.

Better than my allergist

This book provide more information than my allergist bothered to tell me. I highly recommend to read it before you go to your doctor, even if you are just being tested for pollen, etc. I wish I would have found it before all the time and money spent at this particular doctor.

Excellent for understanding food allergies

If you or your loved ones have food allergies..Buy this book. You won't be dissapointed. I was not. I use it as a reference in food trials and ingredient reading. It won't stay on the shelf. This is a book you can use over and over again.
